Additional Implementation and Setup Information

TeachTown connects to www.teachtown.com via port 443. This is an SSL connection. Most firewalls allow this by default. TeachTown does not use a browser to make this connection; it is strictly a client application. It is possible to configure TeachTown Basics to work through a proxy server, however in most cases proxy servers will be detected automatically.
